Military PCS pet move kit
Planning aid for active-duty PCS corridors. Cite official JTR / DFAS pages for reimbursement caps. Not an official DoD publication.
Key corridors
- Camp Humphreys / Osan (ICN) ↔ USA — APQA export + CDC import; see Korea routes and titer countdown.
- Ramstein / Spangdahlem (FRA) ↔ USA — EU health certificate timing + CDC Dog Import Form on return.
- Okinawa / Yokota (NRT/HND/OKA) ↔ USA — Japan MAFF/AQS pathways; often long titer waits.
JTR PCS pet transportation allowance (overview)
DoD Joint Travel Regulations describe pet transportation reimbursement for eligible PCS moves — commonly cited ceilings include up to $550 CONUS and up to $2,000 OCONUS. Confirm current amounts, eligibility, and receipts rules on official defense.gov / dfas.mil publications (verify the date on the JTR table you use).
We do not process claims. Keep itemized airline/kennel receipts for finance.
Patriot Express vs commercial
- AMC Patriot Express — limited pet slots; book early; heat/breed embargoes can apply. Leisure Space-A travel generally does not allow companion pets (service dogs / official PCS pet programs differ).
- Commercial — Delta, United, and American publish military/PCS cargo pathways in some markets; Alaska publishes military baggage perks. Confirm each carrier’s military desk.
